Gregg Oppenheimer

GREGG OPPENHEIMER, son of "I Love Lucy" creator-producer-head writer Jess Oppenheimer, left a successful law career in order to complete his late father’s humorous memoir, "Laughs, Luck…and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time" (Syracuse University Press). The book’s success led to Gregg’s hit comedy play, "I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom," which aired on public radio in 2018 (now available at LATW.org). From 2000 to 2007, Gregg produced the multi-award-winning "I Love Lucy" DVD Series for CBS. Starting in 2014 Gregg co-wrote and directed the annual Palm Springs benefit show "ON THE AIR: An Evening of Live Radio Classics!" for the award-winning Dezart Performs theatre company, directing such performers as Gary Beach, Carole Cook, Joyce Bulifant, Mariette Hartley, Hal Linden, Gavin MacLeod, Millicent Martin, Lee Meriwether, Phil Proctor, Marion Ross, and Fred Willard. Gregg is a member of ASCAP and The Dramatists Guild of America.
